Hello peeps! Yes after some 6 month absensce I have returned! To say goodbye. I know that it's been pretty obvious that I'm not around anymore, but I wanted to make it semi-official. Call it tying up a loose end if you will. While I have missed my friends here, I've just been waaaay too busy to really keep up with this RvB journal. I still plan on checking it from time to time, so if any of you would like to get in contact with me you can still drop me a line through here.

And yes, the Devil's Gate is what's taking ALL my time. It's been coming along great in the year it's been up. And for any of youse that liked checking out my artwork you should really check out the DG, I've come along sooooo much in the last year, I'm almost to a point that you could call "good". Almost, I'm getting there.

Thanks for all the memories peoples. I'll miss you all. And like I said, I'll still check back from time to time, so I'm not completely dead yet.

Well, went through my friends list, again. Maybe this time the site won't crash. Did a bit of cleaning. 69 to 45, yeah I'd call that quite a bit actually. If I cut you from my friends list, it's likely simply because we haven't had any real contact for months. So I don't think most that I cut will care, but if I cut you and you want to be friends again, just start talking to me. The good news is that with only 45 people on my friends list, I can have my entire friends list on my watch list. So, if you're on my friends list, it means I'm watching you. Like a pervert.

I know I haven't been on much lately. I being quite active again there for a while. I think this last site crash kind of zapped the motivation out of me. Of course, it doesn't help that we're getting into that wonderful holiday season that likes to steal away ALL of your free time. Bastards. Hopefully I'll be able to find the time. Laters all.

Yay, the Devil's Gate forums are back up finally. They're not the final ones that Thwack has been wanting to make, but those are going to take him a bit (lot) longer than he had anticipated. At least we have them again!

Wow, lost a bunch of mod points, a few levels, and more journals than I had done most of the summer. Ya know, I'm not really digging this whole seasonal "Let's crash our site" thing that RT seems to be doing.

Hear that noise? It's the sound of tumbleweeds blowing through video game stores everywhere. Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO ALL THE GAMES? Note to gaming industry: this is getting OUT OF HAND. Yes we all know the deal by now, most publishers hold their best games for the Christmas season, which is stupid, as I've talked about before here (look way back in my journal). It seems now that they are beginning to hold just about ALL their games for the holiday season. I mean really, how many games have come out this summer? Only a handful and of those not even half are really worth anything.

It's even an even more dumb idea this year with the XBox 360 (Stupid Name) coming out. Love or hate the Xbox, let's face it, the 360's launch is going to be a big deal, one that will likely overshadow just about everything non XBox 360 (Stupid Name), so you'd think that some of these other companies putting games out on the PS2 and Gamecube.... Wait, did I just say someone was putting something out on the Gamecube? My bad..... some of these other publishers putting games out on the PS2 would want to release their games a little early before everyone blows $300 on an XBox 360 (Stupid Name).

But no, instead there are about 75 trillian games coming out during the first two weeks of November, as opposed to possibly not even 75 games coming out all summer. And as long as they continue to sell games in record numbers during Christmas, don't look for it to change, although it would be really nice if it would. Something's going to have to give somewhere, every publisher is not going to be able to strike it big during Christmas, there is a limit to how much money people have.

No, I'm not think of an odd entry to submit to Webster's, I'm talking about Free Z, an online comic that's actually more an illustrated poem than anything else. I thought it was pretty nifty and worth sharing with all you lovely people. I like the art style, and the poem is quite good (not as good as Crazy_On_You's stuff mind you :p). Very intersting to say the least.

EDIT:Forgot, to go with the theme of the comic, check out the movie But I'm a Cheerleader. It's very cute and fun.

Yay pimping! *ahem* Anyway. Thought I'd tell everyone about the Devil's Gate, a webcomic by me and Detritus. It's a sci-fi comic about the crew of the starship Devil's Gate, and their mishap laden attempts to get rich and get laid. We've been online for almost 6 months now, and have 33 strips in the archives (we update every Tuesday). So check us out.

So this past weekend MC Chris came to Richmond. So seeing as how rare it is that someone we actually want to see comes to town, me, my fiancee, Thwack, and a couple friends decided to go to the show. The show took place at the Nanci Raygun, the local punk/emo club. Sadly more emo right now than anything else. :/ But I digress.

Okay, first of all, there were THREE opening acts. Which is WAAAAAY too many, a point easily proven by the fact that the doors opened at 9:15pm and MC Chris went on well after 12:30am. Adding oddness to annoyance, All three of the opening bands were completely different genres!

First up was a group called Titty Committee. Now, a little bit of advice, for any of you that thought "Titty Committee? I'm sold!": More blatantly attention grabbing a band tries to make it's name, usually means the worse the music. Now this isn't always true, but Titty Committee does nothing to disprove this theory, because they suck, badly. Good description of Titty Committee? Think a really really shitty version of Freezepop being fronted by two RosieO'Donnell sized girls trying to be sexy with two Eminem-wannabes playing their instruments. And I use the term "playing" very loosely.

Then was a band called the Gaskets. Easily the best of the opening acts. Nothing special, just a bit of straightforward modern rock with one really catchy song that just screamed "SINGLE!!"

Then we had to wait almost an hour to let the last opening act set up, a band called Snmnmn. No, I don't have any clue how to pronounce it either, and neither did the Gaskets when they gave shoutouts to the other bands. So, after a waiting and waiting for Snmnmnmnmnmnnmmmn,mn,mn,mn to set up, we get treated to a REALLY BAD Cake rip-off. 4 guys, 9 instruments, mic volumes set about 10 levels too high = nothing but talentless noise.

I was beginning to think maybe I totally wasted my night, and then MC Chris finally came on around 12:30, and showed us why we came out in the first place. He totally blew the crowd away and put on one hell of a show. He worked the crowd to perfection, and was on with everything. His in-between song segments were so fucking hilarious, I was literally in tears on the ground, oh my god he's a funny motherfucker.

So all in all, it was a great show, even if the opening acts sucked by and large. Chris was why we went and he delivered in spades. Definitely a good show to go check out.

Okay, so I was surfing the net, and found an ad for this: Mint Tingle. O_O

It has left me speechless. I am torn between being infinitely amused, and infinitely disturbed. But there is a bright side! Just think of all the new countless bad pick-up lines that can stem from these!

For some reason, the translated English title Please Teacher weirds me out in ways that Onegai Teacher doesn't. Maybe it has to do with the possibility of interpreting "teacher" as a direct object in the first one; I don't know.
